Adirondack Portraits: A Piece of Time is a moving poetic statement
about the Adirondack wilderness and the people who fought the
mountains' relentless environment to settle there at the end of the
nineteenth century. The book is also about the remarkable Jeanne
Robert Foster (1879-1970). Born in poverty in the Adirondacks, as a
young woman she emerged in the center of the literary and artistic
circles of her day, an associate of Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce,
Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and the Yeatses, father and son.
Adirondack Portraits gives us a glimpse into the early life of
Jeanne and some of the influences that helped her step from a harsh
physical existence into the unforgettable world of New York, Paris,
and London in the 1920s. Above all, her poems and prose pieces are,
in the words of Alfred Kazin, "an attempt to recover a vanished
time, to record with love and admiration and enduring wonder a life
of hardship, endless exertion, and perhaps above all, the kind of
isolation that used to dominate country life in America.
